Tue, 27 Apr 2010 20:04:09 +0000http://lakingsinsider.com/?p=5975#comment-108868Good to see the Kings makes some serious strides towards being a real contender. Hats off to the management. They showed confidence of their convictions and patience in moving towards their ultimate goal. While many of of us clamored for Bernier to be brought up, but they stood by their plan and allowed things to take their natural course. Definitely a class act to give Quick the means to control his own fate. We have a solid core set of players that make the Kings future bright. With a few additions, we’re definitely in the hunt. Thanks for an exciting, entertaining season…Go Kings Go!

Samuelson was clearly the most under-rated player of the series. Even after scoring SEVEN GOALS and FOUR ASSISTS he’s still not getting credit for capitalizing on being uncovered and underestimated.

Hey coach, maybe the fact that you give the Sedin brothers more credit is because you missed all the goals scored by THIS GUY. I don’t know what kind of fantasy world TM lives in, but I would have been looking for a way to shut Samuelsson down after Game 3 instead of concentrating so hard on the Sedins. Is it just me, or did Samuelsson see open shots for almost the whole series?

Next year there is no olympics, and baby Quick will be sleeping through the night. I think Papa Quick will be back stronger than ever. He kept the Kings in alot of games this season and had some amazing saves in the playoffs when we needed it. It will be great to see a tandem with him and Bernier.

Thank you TM, DL and the players for giving us the fans a good year. Keep up the good work next season.

Tue, 27 Apr 2010 01:00:34 +0000http://lakingsinsider.com/?p=5975#comment-108649Congrats to the Kings on a great season … true the end result is not what everyone wanted but the fact is that the Kings finally got better and became a playoff contender and will only get better in the years to come … but i do think the Kings need another DMan, a bonafide sniper and Bernier on next years team.. so that Quicker doesnt have to play so many games and if during the course of the season he beats Quick out and becomes the starter ala Tuuka Rask beating out Tim Thomas with the Bruins, so be it .. There is a lot to look forward to with the upcoming draft , the talent in the pipeline and just the maturation process that took place with the team this season .. it was a great ride.

Mon, 26 Apr 2010 20:48:05 +0000http://lakingsinsider.com/?p=5975#comment-108448Great season Kings….can not say anything more then that!

Three things to do for next season

One Bring up one Golie, the Big JB
One offance hopefully Schean or someone else
One D of the top three D prospects

Three give Moller a chance stay with the team or someone from Manchester, this way we will be under the salary cap and have a cup team for next year.

Oh! Play Quick for 52 games and Bernier 30, this way Quick is not burn out at the end of the season….

This organization went from 79 points to 101 this season. thats a 22 point increase ! Heck, 10 points is a big improvement, but 22 ? ! As for Quick, yah he definately struggled after the break but that doesnt mean you toss him away like a piece of trash. Remember, this was his 1st playoffs along with the rest of the young core. As for Bernier. I am 99% sure he will be the backup goalie here next season and will play at least 20 games minimum and if Quick falters again then let the controversy begin !

Mon, 26 Apr 2010 16:42:50 +0000http://lakingsinsider.com/?p=5975#comment-108307For me the off season and training camp are going to be almost as interesting as our just completed season. Dean Lombardi has forgotten more about hockey than I will ever know so I am confident that he knows we REALLY need a anothe puck carrying defenseman that can ALSO play strong defense. And he knows we need a bona fide sniper.

All teams, even Stanley Cup winning teams, have some changes during the off season. That being said I am pretty certain that Jones, Halpern, and Ersberg will not be with the Kings next season. And it is questionable whether O’Donnell, Ivanans, and Modine will return. I will be VERY surprised if Frolov isn’t allowed to leave as a free agent.

I will be interested to see if the oft injured Thomas Hickey is FINALLY ready to make the step up to the NHL. If not, I would expect him to become part of some trade package. And it will be interesting to see if Alex Martinez is capable of having more than a couple of short callups to the big team next season.

I fully expect Oscar Moeller to make the team next season and remain with the team for the entire season (especially if he picks up some weight and gets stronger).

I think Braydon Schenn will spend next season at Manchester. I am hoping that Colton Teubert will be ready for NHL prime time in a couple of seasons because he could bring the nastiness that we currently miss on our blue line.

And of course there will be a battle royal in nets next season. Even in the unlikely event that Jonathan Quick emerges from training camp as the No. 1 goalie, I don’t believe there is any way TM would relegate Bernier to anywhere near as much pine time as he gave Ersberg. That would make for a much fresher end of the season Quick.

I know this will sound strange to some since our season just ended last night, but I can hardly wait for October to get here so we can do it all over again.

For all the geniuses that want to give up on Quick, if Vancouver followed that same thought path, Luongo would not have played in this series, and I felt he was the difference from Game 4 on.

This is a young team, they need to learn how win in this league, Quick included. Playoff lesson learned. Bernier will get his chance with the big club and he’ll learn how to win the right way, not by being thrown into the fire Robb Stauber/Jamie Storr style.
